Overheard around the office:
- Please don’t speak up as you’ll ruffle too many feathers.
- Trust us, we’re family.
- We just need you to put in another year to gain more experience.
- Sorry, she is next in line for promotion, maybe next year.
- Yeah, you will have to work on this after hours.
- Let’s get it in the pipeline for consideration next year.
- Consider this a learning opportunity because everyone has to pay their dues.
- Why is she posting on LinkedIn so much? It seems like she is just showing off.
- These anonymous surveys aren’t truly anonymous.
- Let’s give him an award this year rather than a raise.
Leaders should foster a culture of openness and meritocracy, where employees feel valued and heard, rather than silenced or placated with vague promises and superficial recognition.
